My amazing Manta creation. After seeing the concept art, I put this baby together on RCT3. Check it out and comment!! :thumbs:

ZOMG UNDERWATER TUNNELZ?!?!?

It doesn't even do anything underwater haha. You should make it do some B4RR3L R0ll5sss!

Well, I originially had it doing some B4RR3L R0ll5sss, but it looked like crap in RCT3. So, I went with the UNDERWATER TUNNELZ!!!11

No B4RR3L R0LL5sss in the tunnel?

Unfortunately, no B4RR3L R0LL5sss in the UNDERWATER TUNNELZ. It's just a straight piece of track so that the "guests" can "look out into the water." :shrug:

Barrel rolls are kid stuff.

^Zero-G Rolls pwn them ANYDAY! I love Zero-G rolls about as much as I love Cobra Rolls. I'm a Zero-G and Cobra Roll fanatic. Maybe that's why I love Dueling Dragons Ice so much? Oh, Dive Loops are'nt that bad either .
Does anyone else know if Manta will have a Preztal Loop or not? I still haven't heard anything about that.

Not sure but I hope so. Pretzel Loops are my favorite part about a flying coaster.

What are pretzel loops?

^Click that link. That is a flyer in California at Six Flags Magic Mountain and it's called Tatsu. That inversion that you'll see when you click the link is a Pretzel Loop.

Any news?

Pretzel loops are easily one of the coolest elements ever invented. :happy:

Other than an Immelman on an inverted coaster. :thumbs:

 

[Disneyhead]

I like all loops except for verticle loops. They are boring and a waste of good track.

 

[The Patchman]

The cobra roll, immelmann, and the preztel roll are my favorite inversions.

 

[The_Bled]

Any updates at all?

 

[ROTM182]

Footers are about to if not have already been poured is what I've heard lately on Manta.

 

[allienoves]

We need some new updated pics..I want to know how far the construction is.

Gahh I need to get out to SWO. I want to real bad to check on construction and get on good ole' Journey to Atlantis again. I know next year once Manta finally opens I'll be going at least 5 or more times to ride it. Flyers are really fun, I'm a fan more of Vekoma Flyers. But maybe Manta will switch me over to B&M Flyers. I just HOPE! They do a Preztal Loop in this layout. Imagine the bottom of the inversion was in a trough in the water like we see on SheiKra. Just put some water cannons and make it look like it hit the water like they do on Hulk and it would be awesome! Better yet they could try to put on the tubes like SheiKra and shoot some water backwards!!!

 

[ROTM182]

Anyone else planning on going to Seaworld sometime soon?

 

[allienoves]

I don't know if this is allowed, but this was on http://www.orlandorocks.com/1a/seaworld/Contests/mantacontest/mantacontest.aspx

OrlandoRocks.com is partnering with Seaworld for a contest to spot Manta Track! The Manta track is being shipped from Ohio to Seaworld starting the week of October 6th!. The first of our readers to get a picture of the track en-route will win 2 free Seaworld Tickets.
The tickets will be good for a year and are a perfect way for you to brave Manta once it opens. Of course, if you plan on visiting SeaWorld Orlando before the summer opening of Manta, Seaworld will be happy to provide you with front-row access for two on either the Kraken roller coaster or Journey to Atlantis water coaster instead.
